My Interpretation of the Board of Trade with Chicago flag assembled for the background by Joy by Robin
The representation of the Chicago flag is the background for the quilt. The level of detail needs to exist for my quilt because Mr. Rowley was a draftsman and the detail in his quilt is accurate to the layout of the fairgrounds. My inspiration quilt for the Quilt Alliance “Inspired By” contest is Richard Henry Rowley’s “Bird’s Eye View of the Chicago World’s Fair 1933 from Waldvogel Archival Collection. The documentation is available at http://www.quiltindex.org and the contest information is at http://www.allianceforamericanquilts.org
For those who know the flag … there will be a red star to represent the 1933 Exposition/World’s Fair.
